Water Resource Management
Hydrogeology and catchment mapping, recharge structures, drinking water systems and water quality testing, sized to what the village baseline actually shows.
CSR · Rural Development
A complete village development plan — planned, designed, executed and monitored.
For CSR teams who want rural investment to add up to more than a scattered set of projects, CYARI plans, designs, implements and monitors comprehensive, village-level development programmes across water, livelihoods, climate and community infrastructure — end to end, in one accountable engagement.
Partners & collaborators
The same partners behind every CYARI engagement.
Village development plans draw on the same network of corporates, research institutions and grassroots organisations we work with everywhere else — not a separate roster assembled for CSR pitches.

Malaviya National Institute of Technology JaipurResearch InstituteWhy a plan, not a project
Rural CSR spend usually doesn't compound. A plan makes it.
Most village-level CSR work happens one intervention at a time. A Village Development Plan sequences the same budget against an actual baseline, so each intervention builds on the last.
Without a plan
Fragmented spend
- A borewell here, a school room there — interventions chosen without a shared baseline
- No survey of what the village actually needs most, or who's already working on it
- Assets built and handed over with no operating or maintenance plan behind them
- Impact reported in photographs and site visits, not against baseline indicators
With a village development plan
Sequenced, accountable spend
- One baseline survey covering water, land, livelihoods and social infrastructure
- Interventions prioritised and sequenced against that baseline, not chosen ad hoc
- Local ownership built in from the design stage — committees, not just contractors
- A monitoring framework that reports against indicators set before work began
Our methodology
Five stages, one accountable plan.
The same sequence we use for every water and environment project, applied at village scale — from first survey to verified impact.
01
Plan
Household mapping, baseline surveys and resource assessment across water, land and livelihoods, done with the Gram Panchayat and community — and mapped against the Gram Panchayat Development Plan and other government schemes already active, so CSR spend complements rather than duplicates them.
02
Design
Technical designs and detailed project reports for each intervention, prioritised against the baseline and available budget.
03
Execute
On-ground construction and delivery, coordinated with local contractors, community labour and government schemes where relevant.
04
Implement
Handover with an operating and maintenance model, and capacity building of local committees — water user groups, SHGs — for real local ownership.
05
Monitor
A monitoring and evaluation framework tracked against the original baseline, with CSR-ready impact reporting.
Scope of intervention
One plan, drawing on all four of our practice areas.
A village rarely has just one problem. The plan draws on whichever of these are relevant on the ground — sequenced together rather than run as separate projects.
Sustainable Livelihood
Natural farming, livestock and green-energy-based livelihoods designed to keep working after the CSR budget cycle ends, not just for the duration of the grant.
Climate Mitigation
Land restoration, afforestation and nature-based solutions fitted to the village's own terrain and land-use pattern, not a generic planting target.
Capacity Building & Awareness
Local committees trained to run and maintain what gets built, plus the reporting CSR teams need to show a board what changed.
For plans already in motion
Already running a village development plan?
Not every engagement starts from zero. If a plan is already underway — built in-house, by another agency, or inherited from a previous CSR cycle — our expert panel can independently assess, monitor and evaluate its impact.
- Independent assessment against relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability — the OECD-DAC criteria adapted for CSR
- Ongoing monitoring against baseline indicators, not just site-visit photographs
- Impact analysis and Social Return on Investment (SROI) reporting for board and BRSR disclosure
- Independent third-party assessment for projects crossing the ₹1 crore outlay threshold under the CSR Rules
Why CYARI
What you're actually engaging, in one place.
A registered entity, not a consultant network
CYARI Sustainability Solution Pvt. Ltd. is a registered private limited company with its own CIN and GST registration — a single accountable entity for the full engagement.
Field presence across four states
Teams that have surveyed, designed and delivered projects in Jharkhand, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh — not a plan written from a head office.
Engineering and research under one roof
Construction, waste and water engineering services alongside scientific and technical consulting — so design and delivery don't sit with two different vendors.
Built for how CSR budgets actually work
CESR planning, project proposals for fund raising, and impact communication and reporting are already part of how we run engagements — not an add-on.
Questions
Before you reach out.
What exactly is a village development plan?
A structured, multi-year plan for a specific village that sequences interventions — water, livelihoods, climate, capacity building — against an actual baseline survey, rather than funding disconnected projects one at a time.
How is this different from just funding a contractor to build infrastructure?
A contractor builds what they're asked to build. A village development plan starts with a baseline survey to establish what's actually needed and in what order, includes a technical design and DPR stage, and builds in an operating and maintenance model plus local capacity building so the asset keeps working after handover.
What's a typical timeline?
Baseline survey and design typically take a few months. Full execution and community handover for a comprehensive plan usually runs 2–3 years, with monitoring continuing afterward. Timelines are scoped to the village and the budget.
Do you only work in the states CYARI has already worked in?
We have field teams and delivery experience in Jharkhand, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, and we scope new geographies on a project basis — tell us where you're looking and we'll confirm feasibility.
Does a CYARI village development plan work alongside government schemes?
Yes. Planning includes mapping what's already active through the Gram Panchayat Development Plan and relevant government schemes, so CSR spend complements rather than duplicates them.
Can you assess or monitor a plan we've already built or funded elsewhere?
Yes — it doesn't need to be a CYARI-built plan. Our expert panel offers independent assessment, ongoing monitoring and impact analysis, including SROI reporting, for existing plans. This is also relevant if your CSR outlay requires independent impact assessment under the CSR Rules.
What do we get for CSR and BRSR reporting?
Baseline data, indicator-based monitoring reports, and impact communication and reporting prepared specifically for CSR board reporting and BRSR disclosure — not just site-visit photographs.
Is there a minimum budget to start?
There isn't a fixed minimum. Share your indicative budget range and timeline in the inquiry form and we'll scope what's realistic.
